Happy 1/2 Birthday...Hayden is 6 months old!

I can't believe Hayden's 6 months old! The time seems to have flown by. He had his doctor's appointment today and weighed in at 16 pounds 5 ounces, and is 25 inches long. His doctor said he's right on his growth curves and looks great!

New this month: He can roll over both ways! I tried and tried to get him to do this, and then when he finally did I wished I hadn't pushed him to do it. Now he won't lay still! Diaper changes haven't suffered too much, but trying to lotion and dress him after his bath has. He also eats solids now! So far he loves his baby oatmeal. He knows what's coming when we put him in his Bumbo seat and I can't seem to get it to him fast enough. He gets it twice a day so far, and we'll probably be adding lunch time soon. We tried him on carrots and peas for a few days a few weeks ago, but he wasn't too crazy about those so we decided we'd wait until after his doctor's appointment. They'll be making another appearance soon...

Also new this month, Hayden is now a good napper! I have no idea what changed, but he's consistently taking long naps now. Some days they'll both be two and a half hours! Most days that's not the case, but I'm loving the time to get things done. And shower with no one in the bathroom but me!

He still loves to jump. Over spring break he figured out my parents' door way jumper, so when we got back after Easter we bought one of our own. We don't really have a doorway that would work, so we got him an stationary activity center that is also a jumper. He loves to play in it and often leans back in the seat while he plays with the toys. Silly boy.

He is still in 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. It doesn't look like he'll be growing out of these for a little bit, and I'm totally fine with that. All he has in 6-9 months are Giants and Nationals onesies...I think we need to go shopping!

He has started to bust out of his swaddling, regardless of how we do it, so that's going to be coming to an end soon. Hopefully it won't be too traumatic of an experience. Please pray for us...

Til next month!
